GOP Reps Forego Pay During Shutdown? Awkward..

I hope we stay shut down just long enough for Americans to begin to wonder if we needed all this shit to begin with.

 

This is bringing out the tea party in me - dc is too big and its time to do what it takes to get them out of a lot of areas of life.

I don't know, Tenny. Some of these people may not be able to correctly observe an open air monument or successfully use a parking lot without governmental assistance.

 

It's ok for her. She comes from a gerrymandered district, so her re-election is assured.

I believe its saying 210k over five years. Still absurd.

 

42000 in DC isnt very much

 

Just barely under the average Teacher pay in Alabama.

 

is it adequate compensation for the labor involved?

 

15 miles out of dc ain't exactly that expensive to live.

Essential services...

 

Umm, is this a typo?

 

guess it depends on your definition of expensive.

 

And where 15 miles outside of DC starts. You are right regardless. Most of Virginia would be considered expensive compared to here.

 

Sounds like Paul Ryan is making something happen with shutdown and budget negotiations. Don't know how he did it, but he's placated the Tea Party folks while giving Obama a way to negotiate without losing face.

That slick bastard is going to be President one day.

 

He's a good politician. What can you say?

 

Nothing. He's damn good.
